OT ... anyone here ride motorcycles?

Yeah I always tell everyone to each there own. I dont care for the Harley type of sounds so I have always bought jap bikes
 
<---Ride Sport bikes my last 4 have been yamaha R1's and now I have a 600RR Honda, used to ride fast and crazy, now just cruise so dont need the big bike. Busa is Very nice!!!
 
Very nice, I used to have a Yamaha FZR600. Like the busa should be a VERY FAST bike! I'm sure your insurance agent will appreciate you making his new boat payment for him! :lol:
 
My upgrade was from a 98 Ninja ZX9R. I have owned...Katana, Ninja 7R, 500, 6E, CBR600 F2.

As for why i went with Busa..... hmm POWER!. No really the insurance was the same either way and well I could not pass up the killer deal. Got my Exhaust at cost (have to wait tell it breaks in first to install...and currently only 30 miles on it), and discounts galore on other stuff not to mention 1000.00 of MSRP!

As for insurance...well careless drviing on record tell August so tell then 170/month :( but then only 125/month which for being unmarried and still youngish... and that big of a crotch rocket I cant complain. My 9R was apporx 90 month so I dont mind too much.

And the Busa is so much nicer than the R1, 10R, CBR1000 etc for comfort and for once i was thinking about my siginificant other for comfort

Sweet ride you have there. I was torn when I bought my Suzuki in 2002. Got the GSXR1000 instead. My backside has regretted it ever since. If anyone is looking to buy one, let me know. I can send pic's and give more info.
 
I'm a beginner so I have a sad little kawasaki 250. So, I'm totally envious. But I love rmotorcycles and I'm giving myself props for being a girl on a bike :)

On a tangent, my husband just got hit by a deer on I-235 about a week and 1/2 ago. He was cruising at about 80 mph and a deer jumped over the barricade by east high school and landed right on him. His 05 ducati was totaled and he has severe road rash. He was wearing his helmet which is why he is still with us. Just a reminder out there for you all to gear up even though it is summer.

Enjoy your new bike!

Take care,

Debra
 
Helmet.... whats that? I had a friend hit a deer in desmoines also. I really should wear a helmet considering me and my friend were in a major accident and he was in a coma for several months and my now ex got serious road rash. We are all very lucky to be alive considering the speed we were doing.

annyoed why? Its not law to wear a helmet. And my friend hit me.. from behind due to his riding habits. It was not my fault in the slightest. Maybe you should have asked the whole facts before you make judegements?
 
How is your new bike treating you?

My husband is all healed up from his road rash now.

Today we looked at a Ducati 725 suberbike. It's so pretty! We pick it up tomorrow.

Ryansholl- your bike is awesome. Not sure what it is though.

I convinced my husband to buy the matte black ducati but he really wanted the red. But it's looks naughty in black :)

Don't you love motorcycles? The weather has been perfect.
 
Oh, forgot to mention the helmet thing.

It's just that busa's have the reputation for being the fastest production bike whatever..

Alot people buy them and go superfast on the straightaways but do crazy **** and don't have much experience handling them. Reckless is what I'm aiming at, some people are it doesn't mean you are. I'm saying theres a reputation :)

I'm sure that's what ryans beating around the bush about. So, I'll just say it okay. I don't mean no harm buy it. Sh*t , I ride a 250 for god's sake. I got to wear a helmet in case someone trys to run me over.....:)

It's a beautiful bike and you got buy what you love right?

Maybe next year my husband will let me buy a bigger bike.

I'm a huge supporter of helmets though.

I say gear up, it's not the law but it's the right thing to do.
Besides, if you don't wear a helmet then you shoud really buy googles so a bug doesn't take out your eye someday :)
 
I am loving it 100%. Yeah it has a reputation for the shear fact of the performance of the bike. Thats was one of my main reasons for purchasing it. I am just waiting for it to break in so I can get the full muzzy titanium exhaust system and power commander installed.

I normally wear a helmet on road trips but in town I have no desire to solely because of what I feel are peripheral vision issues with helmets. On the interestates etc bugs let alone rocks at that speed hurt like a *****.

Ducati's are wonderfull bikes... I just feel they are overpriced .. kind of like the Aprillia Mille R (which was my other choice...however 16K seemed steep)
